The maturation of wine brandies in wooden barrels cause many sensory and physicochemical changes in these alcoholic beverages, namely its flavour modification. Previous work (Caldeira et al. 2008) pointed out the most potent odourant compounds of the wine aged brandies. Some of these compounds proceed from the distillate and others are extracted from the wood. In this study it was quantified, some odourless com...
